IndiGo plans to start India-UK flight service by year-end

INDIA’S budget airline IndiGo said it plans to start a service to the UK by the end of the year.

Launching its Delhi-Istanbul flight service, the company added that it has been expanding its fleet of aircraft to connect more countries, among them the UK, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Saudi Arabia.  


IndiGo chief commercial officer, William Boulter, said: "We are looking very seriously into other points in South East Asia, notably the obvious ones of Vietnam and Myanmar. We also want to operate shortly to Saudi Arabia on the west side". 

About IndiGo's plan to connect Delhi to London, he said: "We are still hoping to operating to London this year. We haven't chosen yet what the mid point is going to be, whether Baku or Tsblisi or Istanbul."

"We had some slots in Gatwick airport last winter, but they have lapsed. So, we are again looking at which airport we can operate to in the UK. It's not yet confirmed. We are very keen to get into the UK market this year. 

"Once we get more A321s, we will do more longer routes."

Musk's SpaceX-Tesla merger

What could a SpaceX-Tesla merger mean for Tesla and its investors?

  • SpaceX and Tesla have formed independent committees to explore a possible merger, with Musk saying the idea has merit but is not certain to happen.
  • A combined business could bring electric vehicles, rockets, satellites, AI and robotics under one corporate roof, but investors would need to assess how the deal is structured and priced.
  • Tesla shareholders would face a major decision over whether the potential benefits justify the risks of joining a much broader business empire.

Elon Musk’s proposal to combine SpaceX and Tesla could reshape the electric carmaker’s future, giving it closer access to rocket technology, satellite connectivity and artificial intelligence infrastructure. But for Tesla investors, the central question is whether the merger would create lasting value or expose the company to new financial and governance risks.

Musk said on Tuesday (20) that both companies had established special committees of independent directors to examine a possible tie-up. He supports the idea, citing opportunities to cooperate on AI software, chip design, robotics and connectivity. However, he cautioned investors against treating a merger as inevitable. The committees have yet to agree on transaction terms, and any proposal would need shareholder approval.
